[QUOTE="morcey2, post: 1177156, member: 71004"] Are these reloads or factory ammo? Protruding primers can be caused by too low of a charge. I get them all of the time if I fire domestic (Rem/Win/Fed) 8mm Mauser ammunition. The primer backs out of the case during the initial ignition and is usually re-seated flush with the case head when the case head is forced backwards later in the firing process. This is on several different rifles, all of which have proper headspace. If the charge isn't high enough to force the case back in the chamber, you end up with a protruding primer. If they're reloads, you might want to try increasing the charge (within reason, of course). Matt [/QUOTE]
